Thanks for filing this bug in Ubuntu.

>From the logs:

See "systemctl status winbind.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

Unfortunately that doesn't tell why winbind failed to start, only that
it did. Since there is no smb.conf attached to this bug, I can't check
that it does not contain errors.

I suggest the following:
- inspect the logs in /var/log/samba/log* to see if they have more information about the problem. These logs were not attached to this bug so I can't check.
- inspect your smb.conf for syntax errors, specially around the winbind parameters. Or run the testparm utility to do some basic checks for you.

I will mark this bug as incomplete until more information becomes
available. Thanks.

** Changed in: samba (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Incomplete
